After spending the past week reading up on everything related to the new game platform OnLive, I've found myself in a interesting predicament. I've seen the videos and read the reviews, and like the feedback I'm hearing on the software. I'm hopeful this new service works because it would be great for gamers everywhere, and would especailly be great for me as a college student. There is just one thing I can't figure out.

That’s why we’re happy to announce the newest Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller and Wireless Headset collection, featuring inspired designs from Forza Horizon 6. The bright cyan and lime colorways celebrate the Horizon Festival’s recognition of iconic cars and hit music, with special features that are sure to impress any collector."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
Jesus christ really who approves hhg stories. They are all crap, I suspect that the people from hhg themselves approve their own stories.
Blueberries make me itch.
I dont think any dev talks about their own hardware because the consumer isn't supposed to worry about that, you're just supposed to trust they have enough to satisfy you and make it playable. It's like PSP remote play...you're not supposed to ask if the PSP can render PS3's graphics because that's not what remote play does. The PS3 takes care of everything and all the PSP does is show it on its screen and you can control it with the PSP buttons. All OnLive is doing is enabling you to play it with OnLive's own hardware and the only thing your PC needs to do is be able to show video and control what's on the video. As far as hardware recommendations, you're only supposed to be required to need a REALLY good internet connection if you want to make the game look decent on your screen
What hardware they have on their end is the least of the concerns. How they are compressing and how are they avoiding lag is the magic wand waving they are doing now. It doesn't really matter what system they have as long as it can play the game at an acceptable frame rate.
What I would be more interested is at what levels will the games be ran? Sure, it can run Crysis, but will I be able to play it at max graphical settings like a high end rig? Will graphics settings scale forward and back when more or less people get on the service? That's what I'm curious about.
I would hate to be playing games at uber low settings due to server strain.
